Later that day we left the Kingdom of Okafor and set way for the location of the bandit provided to us on a map from Kneckle. <Poor Kneckle,he was in such bad shape when I seen him before I left. His left arm was completely severed from the shoulder looked as if the bandit ripped it out of its socket and the message carved into his body was beginining to scab and blister which was causing him tremendous pain. I can still hear him shrieking, just from the pain of marking an “X” on the map. I’ll get this bastard, I WILL HAVE HIS HEAD!> Clenching my fist, so tightly that my nails would soon draw blood from my palms I shout,
“Rodrick, Adonis!”
“Yes master?” They both replied.
“I don’t want either of you two getting in my way this bandit is mine, after all this wreckage he has caused to our kingdom - taking over twenty five soldiers lives! I WILL HAVE HIS HEAD I SWEAR BY THE GODS!”
“That was our plan all along,” Adonis replied confidently.
“You are the strongest warrior the lands have ever seen, you don’t need us for back up we are simply here to observe greatness - it’s an honor, my prince.” Rodrick said with a smirk on his face.
<That it is, Adonis, that it is…>
After about half a day passed and when we were closing in on the “X” on our map, Rodrick stepped on a twig and it snapped.
“Shhh,” I scowled, putting my index finger hover over my mouth. “If he found Heckle and Kneckle on his trail we are going to have to be more careful to not get discovered.”
 “Sorry master,” Rodrick said in a disappointed cracked voice.
“Its fine lets continue forward men…”
 It took about another half a day until we reached the first of the wreckages. “Whats that up there?” Adonis whispered.
“What?” I muttered.
“Up there on the road,” Rodrick said.
They were several meters ahead of me, in front leading the way, just in case the bandit tried to attack, I could flank him this way .
“It appears to be a chariot, Prince Okafor,” Adonis stated.
 “Is it one of ours?” Rodrick asked.
Now only a couple meters away from the brown wooden chariot; wheels broken in half, the door ripped off its hinges, decapitated decaying bodies covering the road. There laid one message written in blood on the chariots walls and all the surrounding trees: “Leave me b”
“It looks as if Zeus himself personally attacked this chariot,” I said aloud.
“By the gods,” 	Adonis cried, “What kind of monster would do this?!”
I examined the wreck more closely, noticing a symbol smeared in blood, I wiped my hand across to smear the blood away. It is still wet from the moisture in the air and dampness of the woods.
“Adonis, Rodrick, come have a look at this,” I demanded.
“What is it master?” They both answered simultaneously.
“Can you make out that symbol there?”
“No,” Rodrick replied.
“Here let me throw some ale on the blood, and wash it clear for you master,” Adonis insisted. <Ale, I thought to myself of course thats all you brought with you,>
“such a drunk,” I muttered quietly.’ As Adonis wiped the blood of chariots door, you could see a symbol of a shield; with a sword posed in the middle behind the shield, I could see words becoming visible as the blood he wiped away. “King Obadu” the seal read.
“Father was right, I said relieved. Our fellow kingdoms have not conspired against us.” “Continue forward men same way as before ill be fifteen meeter behind you”
Once Rodrick and Adonis were about twenty meters ahead of the prince on top of a hill, Rodrick whispered “glad we don’t have to worry about another war right?”
“Yes,” adonis said “thankfully, but I am becoming afraid of the enemy who lies ahead.”
“Don’t be a pussy,” Rodrick roared. “The king, the gods would be ashamed of you! Not to mention Prince Okafor the great is guiding us, who need I not remind you has never been defeated in combat I’ve never seen a challenger lay a single  scratched on him.”
“I know Rodrick but,” Adonis insisted. Most warriors in our kingdom are very old now, were old when he was a child, the surrounding kingdoms princes inherit their royalty and leadership, there hasn’t been a war in almost four decades… I just think we should be more carefu-“
-A shiny metal objects flies across the woods making  a fast “woosh” sound before crashing into the tree.- “What was that I yelled abruptly, towards Rodrick and Adonis.” I had not noticed how far behind I was.
“RODRICK,” Adonis screamed!
<I could hear them now they were right over the hills a few meters over the hill.> “ADONIS,” I screamed “RODRICK,” I am coming! When I got over the hill what I saw made my insides turn, instantly filling me with the rage and the hatred of hades himself. “Rodrick!” I let out only Rodrick was dead, his head was severed from his body laying on the floor his neck oozing blood.
“Prince Okafor,” Adonis yelped, hide at once the blade came out of nowhere and decapitated Rodrick, we had no idea what is was until it was to late.
“Calm Down,” I said calmly, the weapon is still stuck in the tree Adonis, and if he had another one he would have surely used it by now. Show yourself bandit you must feel the wrath of Prince Okafor and face your punishment in front of the gods!” I screamed reluctantly. All of a sudden you could hear branches snapping as someone was approaching, than the the snaps stopped,  a tall brolic man stepped from behind the trees.
“Can you fucking Idiots not read LEAVE ME B,” the man shouted
“Are you the bandit,” I demanded
“Bandit?” He questioned.
“Yes the bandit who has been raiding my kingdom, and the surrounding  kingdoms trade chariots?”
“Hmph” he said with a sly smirk, “I suppose that was me. However I am no bandit. You should’ve listened to the messages boy, I was seeking shelter this summer to heal a wounded shoulder, shitty for you that I ended up in between your three kingdoms but thats life shit happens kid.”
“Kid,” I protested “Do you know who you are speaking to I am Prince Okafor, I have never lost a battle I-
“Kid,” he interrupted. If your from any of these three kingdoms thats not an accomplishment, you will get no merit from me, these soldiers are pathetic, old, weak and have no skill, I am honestly surprised you weren’t  attacked already.”
“How dare you interrupt  the prince,” Adonis yelled. Then charged towards the bandit, the bandit did not move a muscle, it looked as if he was unfazed that man was running towards him blade drawn.
“Defend yourself coward,” Adonis screamed.
The bandit didn’t move he looked up again with another sly smirk, at this point adonis is within swinging distance, the bandit swung his leg, which happened instantly. All I heard next was the sound of bones cracking in half, like a skull was being pulverized by a mallet, than I heard a screech from Adonis as he flew fifteen feet to the right of the bandit into a tree. All in a blink of an eye
<hes dead for sure>
“Told you pathetic,” The man said
“You killed my best friend you know that?” I said filling up with rage
“Agh, of course I did,” he said irritated.
“Do you think this is a joke you will die!” I screamed, and charged towards the bandit, again he did not draw his weapon he stood there as if he was unworried a warrior like me was attacking him.
“If this is how you choose to die, a death that was not noble so be it!”
I exclaimed as I jumped brought my sword behind the right side of my back gripping it with both hands and swung downward. All that was heard next was a loud clash of two metal swords connecting.
“Ho-how did you pull out your weapon and block that, and YOUR ONLY USING ONE ARM” I said with a puzzled look on my face. <this is when I noticed how defined this man truly was his muscles were protruding  from his arms, his veins bulging out his neck and arms, this was no ordinary man.>
“Ha” he laughed sarcasticly, “you know I could train?” He said with our swords still in lock.
caught so off guard I didn’t say anything. <I could learn so much from this man and truly become the warrior I need to be for this quest, no no, I couldn’t do that this man had killed half my kingdom and thought it was a joke. I could nev->
“Just kidding,” he laughed, as he pulled his second sword from his waist  then swung it suddenly at the head of the prince decapitating him. His head now rolling off his neck onto the ground with his fellow soldiers.
